Ark when you compose a new song is it the same way as I do by jamming some melodies and selecting several ideas to develop? I take the most promising and video tape them it helps me to remember not only the chord sequence but the strumming pattern 
Sounds intriguing Russ...
Always good to have a plan or in my case do what a say and not what I do

Hi bungalow bob I see this is your first post so welcome to Chordie sometimes its easier to understand basic theory from a book as its graded from the beginning and all the information you have provided may be to much for a newbie to digest or comprehend untill they have studied and memorized in smaller increments this information, kind of like learning a new language and music is a language
doc were these ladies from Ireland?
1) Employee of the month is a good example of how someone can be both a winner and a loser at the same time
2) Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
3) A blonde, a brunette, and a redhead all work at the same office for a female boss who always goes home early. "Hey, girls," says the brunette one day, "let's go home early tomorrow. She'll never know."
So the next day, they all leave right after the boss does. The brunette gets some extra gardening done, the redhead goes to a bar, and the blonde goes home to find her husband having sex with the female boss.
She quietly sneaks out of the house and vows to return home at her normal time the next day.
In the morning, the brunette says: "That was fun, we should do it again sometime."
"No way," says the blonde. "I almost got caught."
Wikipedia list this information about ST.Patrick
Saint Patrick (c. 390 - 460)[2] (Latin: Patricius,[3] Irish: Naomh Pádraig) was a Roman Britain-born Christian missionary and is the patron saint of Ireland, along with Brigid of Kildare and Columba. He was educated at a monastery and school of divinity founded by Illtud (now Llantwit Major).
When he was about 16 he was captured by Irish raiders and taken from his native Wales as a slave to Ireland, where he lived for six years before escaping and returning to his family. After entering the Church, he later returned to Ireland as a missionary in the north and west of the island, but little is known about the places where he worked and no link can be made between Patrick and any church.
By the eighth century he had come to be revered as the patron saint of Ireland. The Irish monastery system evolved after the time of Patrick and the Irish church did not develop the diocesan model that Patrick and the other early missionaries had tried to establish.
The available body of evidence does not allow the dates of Patrick's life to be fixed with certainty, but it appears that he was active as a missionary in Ireland during the second half of the fifth century. Two letters from him survive, along with later hagiographies from the seventh century onwards. Many of these works cannot be taken as authentic traditions. Uncritical acceptance of the Annals of Ulster would imply that he lived from 340 to 460, and ministered in what is modern day northern Ireland from 428 onwards.There was no mention of snakes
yes I have given this some thought,im reminded of the quote: " if you fail to plan you plan to fail"
Sounds like you have it all worked out my Friend.
Top that was a good one and the video reminds me of why I quit drinking a few years ago the only Irish joke I can remember is a woman in Ireland go's to her Parrish priest about her husband who gets drunk at Dooley's tavern just about every night and she's at her wits end so she asks the priest "how can I stop him from drinking" the good father tells her "you have to scare him out of his mind so he wont touch another drop,and "how will I do that" she asks he thought a moment and said "there's a cemetery on the way home from Dooley's tavern so put some white makeup on and hide behind one of the gravestones and when he comes by jump up and tell him your the devil he will be so scared he'll never touch another drop" she agrees and the next night hes stumbling home from the bar and passes the cemetery and she jumps up from behind a gravestone and says "I'm the devil,I'm the devil" he almost has a heart attack and looks at her and Say's "wait a minute I know you I married your sister" 
deadstring I decided to purchase a bass guitar and I will pick it up from the music store tomorrow along with another amp so I can play my ME-50 stereo this will add a cool dimension to the lead solos so instead of going direct into my digital recorder I'm placing a microphone in the middle of the two amps and setting each one different this will give a spacious effect as I can split the effects on the unit in addition is has a feature called a harmonizer its kind of cheating a bit but what the heck,I dont feel guilty because I am capable of doing it without it its just that it saves time, and at my age that's a commodity the extra time will let me work on the lyrics no sense in rushing this project and sacrificing quality for the sake of expediency
Phill very meaningful lyrics a song of hope and wondering well done
I am happy to say I finished two acoustic Rhythm tracks and will be adding the percussion and bass tomorrow followed by two lead guitar tracks and two lead vocal tracks I have decided to layer backing vocals in counterpoint harmony sort of a Melodie independent and supporting the main lead vocals this technique was used effectively by groups like the Beatles and Steely Dan,The two lead guitar tracks will be played in thirds (harmony) similar to the group Boston so far everything is going smooth and I will keep you posted on the progress and when its uploaded,doing a printable chopro may not help only because of the anticipated timing and synchronization of the rhythm tracks but I will also do a video and play acoustic guitar and sing.The original raw version on myspace and youtube was played in the key of A I have capoed up two frets so the song while played with open tuning is now in the key of B it sounds a little more lively with a capo and enables my vocals to open up more to follow
To be sure there are a lot of "little buggers" that are microscopic so my advice would be to wash your hands often sort of "washed by me" washed by him
Welcome Newbeeguitar to Chordie,I think you will find the most helpful people on the internet here on Chordie if you have any questions or need help just ask
Phill I stand corrected my apologies to all the Scottish but when I was a kid my parents never used the correct term consequently neither did moi
I like to play the Doobie Brothers songs there kind of upbeat and John Prine is another favorite but Jimmy Buffet is also along with Gordon Lightfoot and I love Bonnie Raaits vocals and guitar work, theres so many artists I enjoy listening to its hard to list them all
Pix you are correct Silk n Steel are my favorites there only drawback would be there lifespan but in the music store they sell for twice as much or more then this online store and since I order a lot of books from amazon online it makes sense to purchase several sets and save money even with the cost of shipping it looks like a good deal
Alan I did enjoy Guitar on my coat especially the chord changes but sometimes your vocals faded below the guitar but I thought it was a lilting melodie and overall enjoyable to listen to
Alan transported to Australia, are you referring to the accomodations at the hotel Botany bay penal colony? and I did find my ancestors were Norse it seems there only employment was plundering and pillaging coastal waters quaffing large quantities of spirits and absconding all the fair maidens for there carnal pleasures, kind of like Rock Stars aye me matey they were a hearty lot them vikings, abet I have been around a while I can not lay claim to having participated in these festivities at least not in that century
Had a listen, it is a song of our times with an all to familar theme and you did a great job with the lyrics even tho they were a little rough for Chordie because of all the family members,you sung it well thanks for the link
Weejie I will keep the raw version where it is that was a first take I hope I can reproduce that "edge" on digital im confident I can and thanks for your comments
really into that there Russell!! soundin raw and unpolished gives it edge, great stuff.
Phill thank you for your comments and the phrases are kind of fun to play im itching to add my new effects pedal to the song a labor of love (good name for a song) I'll post when the recording is finished should be a lot of fun
I think in actual fact that "Albion" refers to England, though in Welsh "yr Alban" is Scotland! but regardless of the English connection, I thought it a lovely piece, I liked the little Fraze's you popped in here and there, it's always nice to have a starting point. let us know when it's done my old friend.

This is a new song I composed yesterday and this video is a rough unpolished cut but I have already smoothed out the edges the lyrics are still in the works I just made these up on the spot but you will get some idea of what the finished song will be,I will be recording this later this week and add all the instruments and effects and upload it to my web site so if you have a minute or two please give a listen,the title comes from the phrase "I'll be on the next train"
